Morphology
pedometer = ped + meter
The structure is a learned classical compound meaning roughly 'foot-measure', but the first element is not a transparent standalone English word for most learners.
Etymology
Pedometer comes from the parts ped- 'foot' and -meter 'measure', so it literally means 'foot-measurer'. Think of pedal (foot) and meter (a measuring tool) to remember that a pedometer counts your steps.
